Cerastium pumilum   Dwarf Mouse-ear

DD

 

N

 

This little mouse-ear has normal and glandular hairs which you can just about see, scarious tips to the bracts but the obvious and different feature is the reddish stems. C diffusum and C semidecandrum are of a similar size so you need to get out the keys to differentiate them although C pumilum is scarce.
